Youngsters listen in while retired truckers tell of the early days of logging and trucking here on the peninsula. The younger generation had the right to sift through the stories told judging the authenticity of some of the tall tales which flowed there. This is just a small portion of the very large crowd that gathered at the Quileute roundhouse for the picnic. Photo by Lonnie Archibald

Pictured here are some of the retired truckers and loggers who gathered for the Logger and Trucker Picnic Saturday at the Roundhouse in Forks. From left are Barry Swanson, Pat Ruble, Richard Halverson, Rudy Drollz, Clark Browning, Pete Strom, Bob Reidel, Avery Bumgarner, and Dave Micheau. Can anyone calculate how many “Man-hours” these guys have worked? Photo by Lonnie Archibald
